Ellsworth Kelly. Les cahiers de la Foundation Vuitton

In 2012, the Louis Vuitton Foundation commissioned Ellsworth Kelly to make a proposal for the auditorium at its new premises, a building designed by Frank Gehry. The result, according to art director Suzanne Pagé, “is a global intervention without precedent in his oeuvre in Paris and in Europe.” Kelly’s five monochrome panels in vibrant colours accompany a stage curtain also conceived by the artist. Published in conjunction with the realisation of the project, this book not only offers an insightful conversation with Kelly about the work, but also installation views of the commissioned work, an overview of additional works by Kelly from the collection, and a biographical text.
